The cavalry with lost speed is a living target. They have no way to avoid or attack when riding on horseback. Infantrymen can siege them from all directions. Therefore, infantry is not without means to deal with cavalry.

In "The Biography of Napoleon", it records the incident of infantry fighting against cavalry. At that time, the French infantry formation was broken, and the British cavalry took advantage of the situation and rushed up to slaughter the infantry. The French soldiers scattered on the battlefield were in groups of five people, holding battle swords, and gathered back to back together. This method was the traditional French infantry against cavalry.

If the five infantry dispersed, one cavalry could easily chop and kill the five people with the speed and strength of the war horses. However, once these five people gathered together, the cavalry would attack from any direction and be attacked by at least two people.

If the cavalry chooses to strike head-on, he will be even more unlucky! He will hit and kill at most one person, and then he will be attacked by four soldiers' swords, and he may die on the spot!

In fact, the biggest purpose of cavalry is actually to deal with cavalry and chase the enemy. When cavalry fights infantry, they usually skip close to the edge of the infantry phalanx and use weapons to kill infantry. Or use Mercedes-Benz speed to shoot arrows into the infantry phalanx, and wipe out the infantry phalanx layer by layer.

Moreover, the war horses under the cavalry's crotch are also creatures, and they also have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. They also know to bypass them when there are obstacles in front of them. Especially when facing the forest of weapons, the war horses are even more unwilling to rush in.

So before the last resort, no cavalry will directly rush into the infantry phalanx. Once you reach this situation, you will be attacking desperately, using the life-for-life fighting style! In this way, the infantry commander will be so happy that he will be so happy! Because the cost of training infantry is much cheaper than training cavalry, it is appropriate to change three or four infantry into one cavalry!

Moreover, even when the cavalry rushed in despair, they had to cover the horse's eyes with a cloth. Otherwise, the war horses with life and thoughts would never jump into the bayonets themselves! They would dodge and jump on their own!

If you like to watch foreign movies and TV series, you will find that in those movies

The mystery on the bridle of the war horse! There are two round eye masks behind the eyes of the war horse, which are specially used for horse eyes, so that the war horse can rush into the pile of weapons without knowing it.

Of course there is a kind of cavalry that can break through the infantry phalanx. That is, heavy cavalry full of heavy armor. But they dare not attack the excessively thick infantry phalanx. Infantry phalanx with very thick thickness will eventually reduce the speed of heavy armored cavalry, and the infantry will have countless ways to deal with these cavalry.

And the most critical point is that the cavalry who dares to rush directly to the phalanx of infantry weapons must have the belief of decisive death and unparalleled courage. This kind of courage is not something that ordinary people can have, it must be a decisive blow that a real warrior can make! Because ninety-ninety percent of those who make this choice will die!

The rebel cavalry in front of them will definitely not have this spirit. They participated in the rebellion for glory and wealth, for gold, silver, money, and how could they have the spirit of dedication to Confucius?

So when the war horses saw the steel jungle made of spears and bayonets start dodging, the cavalry dispersed to both sides! The remaining hundreds of cavalrymen walked around Liu Pei's formation.

But how could the soldiers miss this opportunity? In addition to the soldiers in the front, the bayonets remained motionless, the soldiers on both sides kept firing outwards. The spearmen also stabbed the reckless cavalry who were too close to the phalanx from the horse!

Especially the cavalry who broke into the two square formations were even more attacked on both sides. At such a close distance, the trained soldiers had almost no chance of shooting in the air! Especially when the current war horse fell to the ground, blocking the way of the cavalry behind and forcing them to slow down, they became living targets!

Although these cavalry have been shooting arrows towards the square formation, which has caused certain losses to Liu Pei, the losses are almost negligible! Because shooting arrows on the horse is not that easy.

Without strict training, being able to shoot a bow on the horse's back is a fatal matter. Shooting an arrow into the crowd is already a victory! It is even more difficult to shoot accurately! What's more, Liu Pei's taxi

The soldiers were all wearing plate armor, and most of the bows and arrows were shot directly and bounced away! A small number of the bows and arrows could cause damage by luck. Only a very small number of the bows and arrows could hit vital points such as the face or throat, causing death. Therefore, most soldiers were only injured.

The cavalry passing by Liu Pei's back line was fine, but they just lost a lot of people in the shooting with the musketeers. However, the cavalry between the two square formations was in great danger!

In order to avoid the cannons thrown on the ground, they had slowed down slightly. In addition, the fire of the muskets caused a large number of casualties and injuries, and the dead and dead horses piled up there, which forced them to slow down again. This instead increased their casualties!

Finally, the pile of corpses that continued to rise completely blocked the road ahead, making the more than a hundred cavalry behind unable to advance and retreat! Some of the cavalry tried to turn back, some wanted to find a way in the pile of corpses of the horse, and some were at a loss to turn around, which was simply a mess!

As a result, they were hit by more densely with muskets, with heavy casualties! Occasionally, a few people rushed over to try their best to fight, but because of their lack of speed, they were easily stabbed down from the horse by the spearmen! And they caused minimal damage to the spearmen!

In this very short time, the cavalry team was almost completely lost, and less than a few dozen cavalry were left to turn around and rush out. Liu Pei seized the opportunity and shouted loudly: "The queue on the right disbands! Rush up! Kill these cavalry!"

After ordering, the soldiers on one side of the phalanx immediately left the phalanx and squeezed towards the cavalry!

The soldiers stood close together, raised dense spears and bayonets, stabbed the enemy constantly, and stabbed them from the horse! Even if the rebels and war horses fought desperately, it would be useless!

The rebels who were forced to the point of death jumped off the horse and tried to fight back. However, they could not form a formation in time and still died in the dense bayonets. As a result, their counterattack was easily shattered!
